Global Pac Technologies, a New Zealand-based company, has worked with Robotics Plus to use artificial intelligence technology, to increase apple production packing speeds by 40 percent. This ground-breaking development in their apple produce packer, Aporo II is revolutionizing the efficiency of apple packing operations worldwide.
Global Pac, a joint venture between the Jenkins Group and Van Doren Sales, are market leaders in their own respective home countries of Australia, New Zealand and North America. Global Pac partnered with Robotics Plus to commercialize the Aporo produce packer.
Cameron McInness, Sales Director at Global Pac says the partners are dedicated to delivering the most user friendly, reliable and sustainable packing solutions.
Aporo II is now fully integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT) through OPC Unified Architecture (OPC-UA), a machine-to-machine communication protocol which enables the centralised management of multiple Aporo units. This functionality encompasses mode setting, fault monitoring, and performance reporting, providing operators with greater monitoring and control.
